Anna Kalinskaya wants confirmations
A crucial day for Anna Kalinskaya: the Russian tennis player against Hungary's Anna Bondar will try to pass the second-round tab at the US Open. Kalinskaya throughout her career has never managed to get into the third round of the last Slam of the season: but now, at her career best ranking, she is looking for confirmation of her strength and will try to clear the hurdle on her fifth attempt, against the world number 84.
Jannik Sinner's fiancée is coming off a relatively quiet win over U.S. Lauren Davis, and against Bondar she is looking for confirmations especially from a physical standpoint. The Hungarian, on the other hand, took more than two hours to beat U.S. Bernarda Pera and get her first victory at the U.S. Open. Bondar è ahead in the head-to-head matches: the two have faced each other only once before, in Bastad 2021, with the Hungarian coming out on top after the Russian withdrew.
Anna Kalinskaya has earned more than $3.8 million in her career, the result of 292 singles wins and more than 130 in doubles. Currently coached by Patricia Tarabini, the Russian achieved her best result in a Slam in this year's Australian Open, when she reached the quarterfinals.
Anna Kalinskaya debuted on the circuit in 2015: she has yet to win singles trophies on the WTA circuit but has reached 3 career finals, two in 2024 (Berlin and Dubai) and one in 2023 (Tampico).
